Hello,
I'm using Backup Exec 12.5 on Windows Server Essentials 2008 and have a weird issue. For a long time backup was running fine. Now the tape gets ejected before the job is done!
18:00:02 Backup starts
18:00:04 Alert: Please insert backup media
It looks like Immeadtly after the job starts the tape is ejected. Sadly there are no error messages or anything what would help me to clear out the issue. If I tell my customer (I'm a remote technican) to put in the tape, the backup job continues and pretends that nothing has happened.
I'm using a Tandberg LTO-2 tape system with 400GB (200 uncompressed) tapes. Normally the backup job has an output of around 280-290.000.000.000 Bytes and runs for 5-6 hours.
The backup job is set to overwrite the tape and NOT throw it out when the job is done because there is another job following at 1:30 in the night. The second job is supposed to eject the tape.
If you need any more information to help me please ask, I want to clear this issue as fast as I can.
